Training Camp Is Just Like High School

TJ and Jose at different tables. Rasho and Bargs at different tables. A coincidence? I don’t think so.

The cool kids.

TJ Ford: “Is Jose looking over here? I can’t turn, it’ll be too obvious. Ready Rasho? Wait for it…wait for it…slowly now…he’s not? (smiles, grabs a peice of bread) Damn straight. Fucker can’t even pass the parmesan.”

    It is one of my axioms of sports fandom that the less I know about the players on my team, the better. My epiphany arrived around 1970 – yes, children, 1970 – when I discovered that Gordie Howe was a Republican. Of course, if I had ever given it any thought, I would have expected that to be the case, but the point is that I never did give it any thought.

    So I don’t want to know my heroes’ politics (bound to be right wing) or tastes in music (almost certain to be trashy) or religious beliefs (take a guess) or views on the world generally (let’s say limited).

    Thus, I’m pleased to see the Raptors in Italy, seeing the world beyond the confines of the U.S., yet predictably dismayed at the reaction of many of them. I’ll see Venice when I’m retired?! Come on, kid, wake up. You’re there now. When you retire, it may be all under water. What have you got to do now that’s better? You find the service for your eight course gourmet meal too slow? You’d rather have a burger and fries?

    Ahh, why is youth wasted on the young? And why is Italy wasted on T.J. Ford?

    See, I like to know. It makes me feel a little bit closer to my super-wealthy, hotter-wived, more athletic heroes. But it also makes me feel smarter, more articulate, and more grounded in reality. So really, it’s as much about me as it is about them.

    TJ isn’t sitting beside Bosh for two reasons:

    1) TJ and Bosh are already tight. Bosh is branching out.
    2) Jose smells better.
